Annes Feinste Organic Strawberry-Red Currant Fruit Spread, strained

Maintal Organic

Our success story began as far back as 1886. In that year Josef Müller established a wholesale business for plant-based food and regional products in the Franconian town of Hassfurt, initially only selling tea, herbs, dried fruit and rose hip seeds, before he then began with the production of marmelades and jellies in 1889. Today, more than 130 years later, Maintal Konfitüren is one of the oldest producers of preserves in Germany, with a long tradition of continuity and quality spanning several generations. Anne Feulner, together with Klaus Hammelbacher, is now the fourth generation of the family to manage the company, taking over the reigns in 1999, and she personally guarantees the highest standards when it comes to production and quality with her name.

From harvest to the finished product - our products are lovingly produced and guarantee a very special fruity taste! Our range of preserves, jellies, fruit spreads and marmelades is now as varied as nature itself. Rose hip, ginger, strawberries, cherries, apricots, sloe, quince... the list just goes on and on. Thanks to the wide variety of our delicious fruity products, our customers really are spoilt for choice. And we are constantly coming up with new creations in order to meet consumers tastes.

Our flagship, however, is and remains the Hiffenmark, better known as rose hip preserve outside of Franconia. One out of every two jars of this fine, velvety preserve sold in Germany is produced by us. This makes us Germany’s market leader with 59.8% (Source: Nielsen, 2015).

Values such as trust, credibility and tradition are very important for us. It is in this way that we, as a family company, assume our responsibility of retaining resources for the generations that will follow us. Over the course of the past number of years we have permanently invested in our production facilities and in an energy concept, which has allowed us to significantly reduce our water and energy consumption levels. Since October 2016, we are also one of just a few companies that are certified in accordance with the ZNU standard, which means that we meet the highest demands when it comes to sustainable action in the areas of environment, economy and social issues. Against the backdrop of all these efforts, it is clear that we are against genetic engineering.

The numerous distinctions and awards from independent taste and quality tests impressively demonstrate the quality of our products time and time again. This is how Anne Feulner and Klaus Hammelbacher, together with their staff, can justifiably claim: “We love fruit. And you can taste it.”

Organic fruit specialities - as varied as nature itself

Maintal Konfitüren, the preserve specialist from the Bavarian town of Hassfurt, has been offering a comprehensive range of organic jams for the organic food market under the brand name “Annes Feinste” for almost two decades now. Using only the very best, sun-ripened organic fruits, the utmost love and care during preparation, our very own recipes and gentle processing - these are the secrets behind the success of Anne's Finest, and this is something that you can taste. In the following you will find an overview of our delicious range of fruity organic preserves.

New in our range: Anne's Finest Fruit Spreads

Maintal Konfitüren will launch its new finely puréed fruit spreads in the flavours strawberry-currant, raspberry and wild berry at the BIOFACH 2017. In the case of the strawberry-currant creation, tangy currant meets the sweetness of strawberry, giving a fresh touch with a light acidity. German-grown strawberries are used exclusively to produce these fruit specialities. The fruit spread wild berry guarantees special moments of indulgence. Maintal has captured the complete aroma of the summer in a jar with this fruit spread: Delicately tangy blackberries, gently-mild raspberries and the heavenly sweetness of strawberries are combined with fully-ripe blueberries, intensively fruity blackcurrants and elder juice. In order to produce the fruit spread raspberry, Maintal processes this much-loved but particularly delicate fruit with extra care, creating a creamy and mild-fruity taste experience for all gourmets of organic preserves. Especially fans of smooth preserves will love the three finely puréed fruit spreads, which are completely free of seeds and chunks.

Anne's Finest Preserves:

Ten delicious preserves for the breakfast table: Everyone will find their personal “favourite”. From apricot, strawberry, rose hip and blueberry, to raspberry, ginger and orange, through to sour cherry or blackcurrant. The range has also been expanded with the addition of gooseberry. With its pure and intensively fruity gooseberry taste, Maintal puts the taste of summer on your breakfast table every morning. Thanks to their fine pieces of fruit, these fresh-tangy preserves taste home-made.

Anne's Finest Jellies:

Anne's Finest also has plenty to offer for jelly fans: five different varieties for even more variety when starting your day. While elder berry and blackcurrant are both strong in flavour, raspberry and redcurrant, on the other hand, have a characteristic fruity sweetness. The golden quince jelly perfectly rounds off this particular range of products.

Anne's Finest Wild Lingonberries:

Wild lingonberries, which give many dishes that last little kick, can of course not be left out. In addition to the traditional wild lingonberries, with its wild lingonberry mix, Maintal offers a refined composition made up of wild lingonberries seasoned with pears and bourbon vanilla.

Produced by hand from only the best ingredients

From harvest to the finished product - all Anne's Finest products are lovingly produced and guarantee a delicious fruity taste. The combination of many years of experience, skilled craftsmanship and the most modern technology guarantee the very unique quality of Anne's Finest. Anne Feulner, the eponymous and great granddaughter of the company’s founder, guarantees the highest standards when it comes to production and quality.

The best for you and nature-friendly

Enjoy the refreshing, creamy delights that we prepare for you with love and skilled craftsmanship, using the best sun-ripened organic fruits.

The high 60%* fruit content that we use for our nine spreadable sorts promises extra-wholesome pleasure. This is not surprising, considering that all of our berries, apricots, mangos etc. are left on their bushes and trees until they are completely ripe; this is because they come from certified organic producers. They have that kick and aroma that fruit only has when you simply let Mother Nature do her work.

As we produce all of our delightful goods in a traditional and authentic manner, it goes without saying that they are suitable for vegans. For the nine new fruit spreads, this has been documented by an additional certificate from the Vegan Society, an international supervisory body. With this stamp, you can be sure that these nine delicious types really are good: good for us, the environment and furthermore, good for animals. Organic + vegan is the best for nature, and of course for all gourmet.

Of course, organic + vegan fruit spreads are also the perfect ingredient for cakes, tarts and sweet dishes, muesli and good for healthy vegan cooking in general.

Our organic + vegan fruit spreads are sold in glass jars (210g/225g*) and thanks to especially considerate production techniques, we are able to preserve as many vitamins as possible.
